Críticas
"It is exceptionally difficult to fictionalize a relatively recent mass murder without either cheapening the tragedy or becoming bogged down in grim reportage--but Ms. Benaron does a smart, sober job of it. . . . "Running the Rift" is well-paced but always makes time to demonstrate the apparatus of genocide." --"Wall Street Journal"
"Fictional differences between one person and another can justify violence too horrible to believe. Here one melodious voice can speak for us all." --"AudioFile"
"Benaron depicts the rugged beauty of Rwanda and the horror of genocide vividly in these pages. She writes with an earnest clarity bringing the boy to manhood and imparting to readers a culturally rich and unflinching story of resilience and resistance." --"Chicago Tribune"
